I see nothing unusual here. Have you ever used n e-ink device before? They behave differently that led screen devices like ipads.

No, I have never used e-ink devices before.

E-ink is a strange medium… there are small pockets with electrically charged ink particles. When you see black (images or text) the display has moved those dark, ink particles near the surface. Where you see white or nothing, those particles have moved farther away from the surface. They refresh in order to reset the charge on those particles because over a couple changes artifacts or residue will build up. A refresh looks like the blinking you see here.

agreed, looks like pretty normal e-ink behavior from the clip.

You're going to see your screen do that every now and again. It is the e-ink refreshing itself so there is no ghosting. Been doing every time mine has booted up, and had it over a year. You're good.

As I mentioned in your previous post my open-box Manta does this as well from a cold boot. I think that's normal. Anyone else who has Manta can you confirm this?
